Upon successfully completing the 500 hour program as offered by the National Personal Training Institute, students are eligible for, and may chose to take the Advanced Certified Personal Trainer (A-CPT) exam; the personal training certification exam as offered by The Training and Wellness Certification Commission Inc., that has been accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). The Training and Wellness Certification Commission is the sister company of Training and Wellness Academy, Inc., the parent company of National Personal Training Institute.

What is NCCA?

The National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) is the leader in setting quality standards and providing accreditation services to certification programs covering hundreds of professions and occupations. NCCA, the accrediting division of the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA) has been serving the credentialing profession for over 30 years.

The Value of NCCA Standards

The NCCA's Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs were the first standards established for professional certification programs and exceed the requirements set forth by the American Psychological Association and the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Value of Accreditation

NCCA accreditation demonstrates that the certification exam has been reviewed by a highly qualified third-party panel of impartial experts, who have determined that the exam has met the stringent standards of the NCCA.
